The Hollies
 (from the lyric sheet included with the UK pressing
 of the "Distant Light" Album)

 Saturday night I was downtown
 Working for the F.B.I.
 Sitting in a nest of bad men
 Whiskey bottles piling high

 Bootlegging boozer on the west side
 Full of people who are doing wrong
 Just about to call up the DA man
 When I heard this woman sing a song

 A pair of 45s made me open my eyes
 My temperature started to rise
 She was a long cool woman in a black dress
 Just-a 5'9, beautiful, tall
 With just one look I was a bad mess
 'Cause that long cool woman had it all

 I saw her heading to the table
 Like a tall walking big black cat
 When Charlie said I hope that you're able boy
 'Cause I'm telling you she knows where it's at
 Then suddenly we heard the sirens
 And everybody started to run
 A-jumping out of doors and tables
 When I heard somebody shooting a gun
 Well the DA was pumping my left hand

 And a-she was a-holding my right
 Well I told her don't get scared
 'Cause you're gonna be spared
 I've gotta be forgiving if I wanna spend my living
 With a long cool woman in a black dress
 Just a 5'9 beautiful tall
 Yeah, with just one look I was a bad mess
 'Cause that long cool woman had it all
 Had it all.
